Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the 
correct answer to each of the questions. 
 Despite widespread assumptions to the contrary, there is no prescribed pathway for the 
development of a society, no single model on which development strategies should be based. The Western 
model of development, conceived linear process involving largely economic factors, is often incompatible 
with the complex social, cultural and political dimensions of societies pursuing different goals, reflecting 
their own values. The ideology of development has all too often tended to damage the social fabric and 
foundations- often rooted in traditions of communal solidarity- of the communities that have received 
“development aid” 
 Just as no development strategy can be said to be culturally neutral, a culturally sensitive approach 
to development is the key to addressing the interlinked social, economic and environmental problems 
confronting the planet as a whole. Cultural diversity - which emphasizes the dynamic interactions between 
cultures and sensitivity to cultural contexts - thus becomes a key lever for ensuring sustainable, holistic 
development strategies. While the international community, in its attempts to operationalize the concept of 
sustainable development over the last two decades, has begun to acknowledge the role of culture in the 
development process, the cultural factor has yet to be fully integrated into the development equation. 
 The 1987 Bruntland Report of the UN Commission on Environment and Development (UNCED), 
entitled our Common Future, was seminal in its assertion that genuine development must be sustainable - 
denoting a form of growth “that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future 
generations to meet their own needs". At the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, sustainability was 
conceived in terms of the three pillars of economic viability, social responsiveness and respect for the 
environment. These pillars have since served as the basis for important standard-setting instruments, 
including the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and the Nations Framework Convention on 
Climate Change (UNFCCC). The 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg went 
further by recognizing cultural diversity as a significant cross-cutting factor in sustainable development. 
Cultural diversity must be seen as a cross-cutting (rather than as a separate, fourth pillar of sustainability), 
with an important role to play in all development projects, from poverty eradication and the safeguarding 
of biodiversity to resource management and climate change.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the 
correct answer to each of the questions. 
 There are a number of natural disasters that can strike across the globe. Two that are frequently 
linked to one another are earthquakes and tsunamis. Both of them can cause a great amount of devastation 
when they hit. However, tsunamis are the direct result of earthquakes and cannot happen without them. 
 The Earth has three main parts. They are the crust, the mantle, and the core. The crust is the outer 
layer of the Earth. It is not a single piece of land. Instead, it is comprised of a number of plates. There are 
a few enormous plates and many smaller ones. These plates essentially rest upon the mantle, which is 
fluid. As a result, the plates are in constant - yet slow - motion. The plates may move away from or 
towards other plates. In some cases, they collide violently with the plates adjoining them. The movement 
of the plates causes tension in the rock. Over a long time, this tension may build up. When it is released, 
an earthquake happens. 
 Tens of thousands of earthquakes happen every year. The vast majority are so small that only 
scientific instruments can perceive them. Others are powerful enough that people can feel them, yet they 
cause little harm or damage. More powerful earthquakes, however, can cause buildings, bridges, and other 
structures to collapse. They may additionally injure and skill thousands of people and might even cause 
the land to change it appearance. 
 Since most of the Earth's surface is water, numerous earthquakes happen beneath the planet's 
oceans. Underwater earthquakes cause the seafloor to move. This results in the displacement of water in 
the ocean. When this occurs, a tsunami may form. This is a wave that forms on the surface and moves in 
all directions from the place where the earthquake happened. A tsunami moves extremely quickly and can 
travel thousands of kilometres. As it approaches land, the water near the coast gets sucked out to sea. This 
causes the tsunamis to increase in height. Minutes later, the tsunami arrives. A large tsunami - one more 
than ten meters in height - can travel far inland. As it does that, it can flood the land, destroy human 
settlements, and kill large numbers of people. 
Câu 13: Which of the following is true regarding the crust? 
 Trang 2/5 - Mã đề thi 202 
 A. It is thicker on land than it is under the water. 
 B. It is the smallest of the Earth's three layers. 
 C. There many separate pieces that make it up.

Câu 14: The word "perceive" in bold in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to____________.

 C. How earthquakes and tsunamis occur D. Why tsunamis are deadlier than earthquakes 
Câu 16: The word "it" in bold in paragraph 2 refers to___________. 
 A. the core B. the crust C. the Earth D. the mantle 
Câu 17: Which of the following statements does paragraph 1 support? 
 A. Earthquakes cause more destruction than tsunamis. 
 B. The most severe type of natural disaster is an earthquake. 
 C. A tsunami happens in tandem with an earthquake. 
 D. Earthquakes frequently take place after tsunamis do.

Read the passage and mark A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the blanks 
Last year, there were millions of international tourist arrivals across the globe. Whether they were students 
on their (46)______ years looking for overseas adventure, stressed-out workers hoping to get away for a 
weekend, or retirees (47)______ to relax in an exotic location- clearly none of them thought they could 
find the same experience at home. The question is whether foreign travel brings more advantages or 
disadvantages. 
An obvious positive point is that going abroad sometimes helps people to expand their knowledge of the 
world. If they are (48)_____ - minded, they can learn about new cultures and hopefully gain a more 
accurate understanding about their way of life. In addition, there is the economic benefit of tourism to 
countries which have few other resources. It can provide an income to many people within the industry. 
Having said that, some people simply go to a foreign resort (49)______ by high walls and therefore learn 
little about their holiday (50)______. Another issue is that hordes of tourists often spoil the “unspoilt” 
places they visit. The most recent example of this is Antarctica, where last year cruise ships took 
thousands of visitors to view the disappearing icebergs and wildlife. Vegetation, nesting penguins and 
resting walrus are vulnerable when humans intrude.

Câu 48: A. open B. narrow C. absent D. single
